Statistical Computing and Statistical Graphics Sections
American Statistical Association
Student Paper Competition 2002
The Statistical Computing and Statistical Graphics Sections of the ASA
are co-sponsoring a student paper competition on the topics of
Statistical Computing and Statistical Graphics. Students are encouraged
to submit a paper in one of these areas, which might be original
methodological research, some novel computing or graphical application
in statistics, or any other suitable contribution (for example, a
software-related project). The selected winners will present their
papers in a topic contributed session at the 2002 Joint Statistical
Meetings. The Sections will pay registration fees for the winners as
well as a substantial allowance for transportation to the meetings and
lodging (which in most cases covers these expenses completely).
Anyone who is a student (graduate or undergraduate) on or after
September 1, 2001 is eligible to participate. An entry must include an
abstract, a six page manuscript (including figures, tables and
references), a C.V., and a letter from a faculty member familiar with
the student's work. The applicant must be the first author of the
paper. The faculty letter must include a verification of the
applicant's student status and, in the case of joint authorship, should
indicate what fraction of the contribution is attributable to the
applicant. We prefer that electronic submissions of papers be in
Postscript or PDF. All materials must be in English.
All application materials MUST BE RECEIVED by 5:00 PM PST, Wednesday,
January 2, 2002 at the address below. They will be reviewed by the
Student Paper Competition Award committee of the Statistical Computing
and Graphics Sections. The selection criteria used by the committee
will include innovation and significance of the contribution. Award
announcements will be made in late January, 2002.
Additional important information on the competition can be accessed on
the website of the Statistical Computing Section,

from the ASA website at www.amstat.org. Inquiries and application
materials should be emailed or mailed to:
